I'm having a caching issue somewhere between my Mac and my NAS.
It's slow--I get it, apparently I have way too many files in the folders, but that's my web site folder structure and without a lot of coding it's not changing. But when I navigate to the one in question with finder, it takes *minutes*--not to load the file list, but to actually bring it up to date. I saved four images there 8 minutes ago, but Finder is just showing them now, and Filezilla, the umpteenth FTP application I've tried flat out refuses to show anything in there from May.
This is 2113 files, FTR.
Most of the OS X FTP clients have choked listing the folders, BTW--either system hangup, or list not populating for minutes, or list not updating like mentioned above.
Is my NAS to blame? Is the OS caching? SMB? Is there anything I can tweak *anywhere* to address this?
how do I view mouse over text on a touch screen?
have you tried just pressing and holding the link? that gives me a pop-up with various options, but it also shows me the link text.
doesn't work with xkcd cartoons.
I don't know of a general answer, but for xkcd and other comics that I have in my RSS feed, when I view them using Flipboard the mouse-over text is added at the bottom of the image. Possibly a particular browser has addressed this, but I haven't really looked at many browsers.

Hos did you know that's what I was looking at, omnis?
There is an xkcd iOS app that shows the rollover text.
If you view xkcd from its mobile site m.xkcd.com, there is an (alt-text) link next to the title of the comic. Tap on that, and the alt text will be displayed.
There's also an xkcd app. I have it on my phone.
